A very important addition, which was mentioned in this thread on pages 5-8.
Important.
If you are using a JFET LSK189, it has a reverse pinout, unlike the 2n3819.
It is important to pay attention to this point, since the LSK189 will work in an inverted state, but its operating mode will be incorrect.

In the end, I left the JFET LSK189 in this state:

In total, I desoldered the part and bent the central leg several times. But the legs turned out to be of high quality and withstood all the abuse. This does not always happen, and there are cases when the leg breaks off near the case, which is very, very bad. You need to be very careful.

oh ok thank for let me know so Q1 in that orientation works correctly? is that the case then I have to installed like that then 😗 ok ok anyway the GATE leg will be in a floating mode gotta go back and read 5 - 8

Well, it depends what part number (and pinout) the JFET is, doesn't it? I don't think it's wise to make any "blanket statements"... The datasheet for the respective part number is "holy", and that's the end of it (imho).

"blanket statements"... agree totally yes, I will know after I put it together
 
ja du hast recht es wird nicht mehr hergestellt ja smd wäre auch kein problem vielleicht finde ich noch andere mit guten rauschwerten ich habe einen j211 fet getestet der war extrem leise im vergleich zum lsk 189 ich frage mich warum die so unterschiedliche pegel angeben steht das auch irgendwo
😅

yes you are right it is no longer manufactured yes smd would also be no problem maybe I can find others with good noise values I tested a j211 fet which was extremely quiet in comparison to the lsk 189 I wonder why they specify such different levels is that also written somewhere
